Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stones and animal bones were most likely the very first inorganic materials used by humankind in ancient times. Throughout the ages, inorganic materials were used for their various functions, such as a high strength and toughness, dielectricity, semiconductivity, magnetism, superconductivity, etc. Today, functional inorganic materials play an indispensable role in modern society. This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics related to the preparation techniques, characterization, and applications of functional inorganic materials, from conventional ceramics to semiconductors, biomaterials, nanomaterials, porous materials, ionic conductors, dielectrics, magnetic materials, phosphors, inorganic-organic hybrid materials (such as newly emerging perovskite solar cells), and even materials that may be used in the future, providing a forum to discuss the future prospects of inorganic materials.
I hope that you enjoy participating in this Special Issue by contributing your original research articles or review papers.
Prof. Dr. Yuta Matsushima
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
